Re: non-ifi microcontrollers

For ease of use, the BS2 from Parallax cannot be beat, but it definitely has its drawbacks:

Not a lot of program space.
Very limited variable space.
Slow.

Other than that, I think they're great. You can get an upgraded version of the BS2 from Parallax as well that have more variable space, more pins, faster, etc... I have never tried any other ones, so I cannot say if they make a big difference or not, but I believe they will.
